Likely interview questions for this role
Written from this job description, not a generic list. Each one notes what the interviewer is really checking.
Behavioral
This role means rotating between Southern Lakes Surgery Center, Burlington, and Lakeland Hospitals. Tell me about a time you had to adjust quickly to a different unit's workflow or team.
actual comfort with the multi-site float requirement, since this isn't a one-location job
Tell me about a time you had to teach a patient or family member something they were anxious or resistant to hearing, like prep instructions before a procedure.
patient education skill and ability to individualize teaching under time pressure
Describe a time you caught a near-miss or safety issue before it reached the patient. What did you do about it and who did you tell?
whether the candidate actively reports safety events rather than just avoiding harm silently
Tell me about a disagreement you had with a physician or another team member over a care decision. How did you handle it?
conflict resolution skill and whether the candidate can advocate for patients without damaging working relationships
Why are you interested in GI nursing specifically, and what draws you to a part-time role that covers three sites with call rotation?

Technical
Walk me through how you would set up and monitor a patient during a colonoscopy with moderate sedation, from the moment they come back to when they're ready for recovery.

What does documenting in the electronic medical record look like for you during a procedure day, and how do you keep it accurate when things move fast?
practical EMR proficiency and attention to documentation standards under time pressure
Situational
A patient's oxygen saturation starts dropping during an EGD and the physician is mid-procedure. What do you do?
ability to recognize a deteriorating patient quickly and act within scope while coordinating with the proceduralist
You're on call and get pulled in for an urgent GI bleed case in the middle of the night. Walk me through your priorities in the first few minutes.

How do you decide what tasks are appropriate to delegate to unlicensed personnel during a busy procedure day?
understanding of scope of practice and safe delegation in a fast-turnover ASC setting
You have three patients recovering at once and one starts showing signs of a vasovagal reaction while another needs discharge paperwork finished. How do you prioritize?
